A guide to probability theory and application

International Series In Decision Processes

Physical Description: xvi, 750 p. illus. 24 cm

This book has as a unifying theme, the role that probability models can play in sci-
entific and practical applications. It includes many examples, with actual data, of
real-world uses of models. In addition, there is a detailed coverage of the properties
and uses of probability models, other than the normal distribution.
